Colt WTF?

[Steelharp]

Colt Colt O1991DA - Colt Firearms O1991DA : Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC

I'm confused...

[timcalhoun]

Looks kinda like a Para LDA............strange.............

[MikePapa1]

A DOA 1911? That's, well, almost blasphemy isn't it? What sort of a monster even thinks of such things?

[Guest 10mm4me]

To the OP: While I agree with your reaction that that thing is stupid and especially since it's a Colt, your reaction is a bit late, as that thing has been on Colt's website for a few years now.

[Steelharp]

Shows how often I go to their website.

[Guest Grudgie]

I don't understand. Can somebody point out what is so shocking?

[John]

whats even more shocking is that its sold out.

What's shocking? You can't be serious, man. Would anyone Paint the White House green? Would someone put a miniskirt on the Statue of Liberty? Is nothing sacred anymore? A DAO 1911? We really are living in the End Times. That can only be a sign of the Apocalypse.

It's not a new idea for Colt either. Remember the Colt Double Eagle?

[mdmoseley]

i have one of the para dao. i'm glad they have it because my dept SOP won't us carry a SA weapon.

This looks to be a much better execution of the idea.

That wouldn't take too much effort to be better than the Double Eagle.

Yours says Colt?

Most of them were not Colt slides, but were old Essex or Viking slides. I would think a Colt slide reworked Seecamp would be a rare item, if actually done by them. I'd like to see a pic of that if you have one. They were certainly a neat idea, but horrendous in reality. Most the da triggers were just awful IMO.

[Guest Grudgie]

What is a 'DOA'? And why shouldn't they be on a 1911?

[Steelharp]

Poolee, DOA is "Dead On Arrival;" what you'll be at Parris. DAO is "Double Action Only."
